Golden Era Prawns
Sonny, Peachy and the Millionaire Moilee
It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we know Hemant, Michelin Star Superstar and Sonny. We have simple taste: we like the best and what do the best do?
They get better.
Play it, Hemant.
Veeray's is so hot we did a pre-visit post and you'd be hard-pressed to find if we have ever done that before in 15 years; read it to see all about the custom-built gorgeous decor including vintage mirrors from Italy and 100-year aged brass and more. The lighting for the tables is among the best we have ever seen and your dinner looks beyond amazing. As always, we're going to tell you what you might want to dine upon and their soft opening is going on right now: dinner only, Monday to Saturday 5 to 10pm.
Of all the gin joints in the world, you want to walk into 213 East 45th Street.
It's so cool it doesn't need a sign, you see.
Peachy Deegan walked into this gin joint and met with the underboss, Sonny Solomon, previously lauded here.
The Don wasn't there, but you know he and Peachy go way back to Tulsi.
Here they are at Saar:

Inside:
Meet the Rockefeller Crab Nest: succulent jumbo lump crab reclines upon tempered spices and curry leaves. Wonderfully crabby and welcoming! Peachy's personal favorite however is the Gatsby Kebab, below. The moist tantalizing flavor won us over and we suggest not to share! This is the best chicken anything we have had in recent memory and actually we dreamed about it after we ate it. Tandoor grilled tamarind and basil chicken kebabs will wow you like no other.
Next in the lineup was the splendidly nutritious Jubilee Vegetables! Tandoor grilled broccoli, pineapple, mushroom, peppers and paneer await you after their initiation on the grill. If you think you don't like vegetables, clearly you haven't met these. Broccoli was Peachy's favorite here.
Sidekicks were not to be ignored and from the Lahsuni Palak, garlic-infused spinach above to the Dal Makhani, slow-cooked black lentils below, they add a punch of flavor and smoothness to your dinner and round it out before you whack it in its entirety. Because really, that's what you're going to want to do.
Onion and Green Chili Kulcha awaits your appetite under Jazzy Breads and we actually did not order Garlic Naan here because it is Olive Garlic Naan. If you like black olives it is a treat for you!
The Kulcha teamed up with all the dishes so well and is a star in its own right.
To those that award Michelin stars: get your etoiles ready, kiddo.
That's French for stars.
Prime Picks has an all-star selections of entrees and above meet the Golden Era Prawns and below the Millionaire Moilee.
They look exactly this excellent and as always, pictures are unedited.
For anyone that thinks your food doesn't look as great as Hemant's and Sonny's, maybe you should invest in better lighting!
Killer black tiger prawns do the charleston with a hotsy totsy eggplant chutney while the Sea Bass Filet waltzes in understated coconut curry, letting the poisson steal the show. These are among the best Indian dishes you'll have anywhere.
Under Retro Style, Beet Carrot Kofta will surely have wide appeal to both people and rabbits and although they look like meatballs, we suspect they are far more healthy! We loved the beet and carrot dumplings. Also appealing to your health is the Sweet n Sour Eggplant: onion-stuffed baby eggplant looks forward to ravishing your appetite and does not weigh you down: this is all obviously superior Indian food.
The final hit of the night is called "A Killer Cake" on the menu but may we suggest "Death by Chocolate." Agatha Christie, it would bring you back from the dead! It comes with a warning and is sourced from Sonny's pals at Petitchou. Layers of chocolate, chocolate mousse and chocolate cake are a triple threat of delicious decadence.
Here's looking at you, Hemant and Sonny!
Veeray's is Highly Recommended and we can't wait to see what they do next.

#SportyPeachy #FrancePeachy #ParisPeachy @Paris2024 Alexander Ekman Chosen As Stage and Choreography Director- Opening Ceremony of the Paralympic Games
In 50 days, Paris and France will create history by hosting their first ever summer Paralympic Games. An ambitious Paris 2024 is reinventing the Opening Ceremony by taking it out of the stadium and placing it at the heart of the city. On 28 August 2024, the bottom of the Champs-Elysées and the Place de la Concorde will be the setting for an unprecedented celebration of the Paralympic Movement. This will be the stage where internationally renowned choreographer Alexander Ekman, will direct the staging and choreography of the Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony.
Thomas Jolly, artistic director of the ceremonies, has brought in the Swedish choreographer Alexander Ekman to shake up the traditions of Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony. On 28 August, thousands of Para athletes from 180 international delegations will parade down the legendary Avenue des Champs-Elysées to the Place de la Concorde, where they will be joined by hundreds of artists. Inspired by the extraordinary scale of the 4,500m² Place de la Concorde stage, Alexander Ekman has chosen to place dance at the heart of the show. More than 150 dancers, including many professional dancers with disabilities, will bring to life the Opening Ceremony with inventive, musical, and humorous choreography.
Tony Estanguet, President of the Paris 2024 Games, said: "With Alexander Ekman, the fantastic ceremonies team around Thomas Jolly is complete! Today, we are delighted to announce this collaboration with Alexander, who will bring all his talent and knowledge of Paris to the Opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. We wanted this ceremony to be innovative, spectacular and truly magical, in keeping with this historic event: the first summer Paralympic Games in France. For the first time, it won't be taking place in a stadium, but in the heart of the city, between the bottom of the most beautiful avenue in the world - the Champs-Elysées - and the majestic Place de la Concorde. With Alexander Ekman and the whole team, Paris will enter the Paralympic Games in the best possible way, for eleven days of competition, celebration and emotion. We can't wait!"
For the past two years, Alexander Ekman has been working with Victor le Masne, Composer and Music Director of the Ceremonies, and Daphné Bürki, Director of Styling and Costumes for the Ceremonies to create this exceptional show. An artist of great curiosity, Alexander spent a long time with Paralympic athletes in his preliminary research work. Inspired by the athletes' sporting endeavours, this show highlights the place of sport, and in particular the Paralympic Games, as a solution for creating a more inclusive society.
Alexander Ekman added: "Our goal is to create a Paralympic ceremony that is a celebration with a mix of important messages, featuring the art of choreographic dance and the music newly composed by Victor Le Masne and inspired by sport. It is a real honour to be part of the Paris 2024 artistic team! I can't wait to share with the world the work that my team and I have created."
Thomas Jolly, Director of Ceremonies for Paris 2024, said: "There is 15 per cent of the French population that has a disability. Paradoxically, Paralympic athletes are often portrayed as heroes before many return to a daily life that can be full of barriers. The Opening Ceremony of the Paralympic Games is a unique opportunity to raise the profile of these battles, which affect the whole of society. To both celebrate the Paralympic athletes and act as spokesperson for them, I wanted this ceremony to be both festive and political. That's why I asked choreographer Alexander Ekman, known for his spectacular universe that transcends the limits of the body, to take charge of the staging and choreography of this show. Together we aim to transcend limits and make them coincide with a more equal and inclusive world.”
Thomas Jolly's artistic team for the ceremonies includes Victor le Masne, Musical Director for the ceremonies, Maud Le Pladec, Director of Dance for the ceremonies and choreographer of the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony, and Daphné Bürki, Director of Styling and Costumes for the Paris 2024 ceremonies.
After his show Play, Alexander Ekman will once again enchant France.
A leading choreographer in Europe and America, in Paris one of his creations has received critical and public acclaim. In 2017, he developed and presented "PLAY" at the Palais Garnier, with the Paris Opera Ballet. A public success, the ballet was back in 2021 and will return at the end of 2024. The joyful energy, excess, and freedom expressed in Alexander Ekman's dance appealed to Paris 2024 and Thomas Jolly saw him as the ideal candidate for the Opening Ceremony of the Paralympic Games.
Always ready to take on new challenges, staging the Opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games represents one of the most edifying and constructive challenges of his career for this major player of the contemporary choreography scene.
After the ceremony, it is time for the sporting competition!
From the morning after the Opening Ceremony, and until 8 September, 4,400 athletes will try to win Paralympic medals in 549 competitions across 22 sports. The action will take place at 20 exceptional venues, which will offer a glorious setting to showcase the performances of the Para athletes. The wheelchair tennis tournament will take place at Roland Garros, blind football at the Eiffel Tower Stadium, wheelchair basketball at the Bercy Arena, Para archery at the Invalides, to name but a few.
Affordable ticket prices are at the heart of the Paralympic Games. There is the Family Offer, where for two adult tickets purchased up to two tickets for children under 12 years old can be bought at €10, and the Discovery Pass, where fans can attend several Para sport sessions in either central Paris and southern Paris on the same day for €24. There are many opportunities to participate in the Paralympic party, with more than 500,000 tickets at €25 or less, while more than 120,000 tickets at €15 are still on sale.
All information on the Paris 2024 website > tickets.paris2024.org
And for the first time in their history, the Paralympic Games also offer a hospitality programme.
From the evening of the Opening Ceremony of the Paralympic Games on 28 August, spectators will be able to enjoy an exclusive outdoor hospitality experience in the Jardin des Tuileries before following the parade of athletes in the stands and getting as close as possible to action of the Opening Ceremony.
For competitions, two types of hospitality packages (with event tickets included) are offered to cater for all desires and budgets: a "Lounge" package with guaranteed spaces at the heart of the sporting action, and a "Fan Kit" package. These offers will allow fans to be immersed in the passion and emotion of the exploits of Paralympic athletes.
